Can anyone say Butch Davis?
Hired the same year as Hawkins. Algedly informally contacted by someone to gauge interest and at some point deemed too exepnsive. Interestingly the scheduled series between the two schools gets canceled and UNC pays like $100k to get out of it after Butch gets hired.
At any rate Butch inherited a team that was pretty much the Baylor of the ACC. Well, 3 year later they are 3-1 losing only to VaTech by 3 points and just took one from Miami. They looked a lot tougher in the UM game than I expected and I put them ahead of us at this point.
I did vote that Yes were headed in the right direction but only time will tell if were better.

The ACC is not the big 12. Beating WVU is better than losing to VaTech.
They won 3 games in '06, and 4 last year. It's not like Butch turned them around overnight.
I believe NCarolina has had better recruiting classes than CU (with their previous coach) every year except for 2005 -In 2005 CU had the 43 best recruiting class, NC was #44. So it's not like Butch came in with nothing. In fact that's why he went there. I think he saw he had something to work with. Not at all like Hawk had at CU.
Maybe. VT and WVU are both struggling right now.
The South East Region of the US has the best available HS football talent available on a per capita basis hands down. I don't think the ACC is better than the Big 12 but that was not my point. I was merely measuring the success Butch is having against Hawks.
Recruiting is one thing. Winning is entirely another. We all have no farther to look than Mac Brown in so much that it took him soooo long to finally dominate with class after class of the best recruits in the country. Coaching is the other half of this and thats where I was going with my post.
Until there is a better QB on the roster, there is no reason to even discuss benching C-Hawk. As it stands today, he is far and away the best QB CU has.

Not only that but people need to recall Coach Hawk's comments on the QB situation at the beginning of last year. He is not the QB position coach, he left the starting QB decision entirely up to the OC and QB coach and he has said that the decision to make a change will also fall under the same coaches. People saying that we are screwed because Hawk won't pull the trigger on his kid are clueless and simply trying to find an easy way to place blame.
